FRI AUGUST 30th - VCHAT LESSON NOTES
Hello guys! In this session we will talk about Composition but in a different way compared to traditional books.

The topics that we will have in mind to understand their music are:
- Song Structure
- Chord Progressions
- Scales used for Vocal Melodies
- Scales used for solos
- Arrangements
The first band that we will cover is Foo Fighters. The songs that we will have in mind are "Everlong", "Hero", "Wheels" and "Walk".

FRI NOVEMBER 15th - VCHAT LESSON NOTES
Hello guys! This month we will start working on Guitar Routines. I'm already doing this work with some guys at Gab's Army so the idea is to invite everybody to practice this routine with me at the Chat-room and ask all the questions that you need. I will play the exercises slowly and at tempo over metronome and also will be able to see you streaming to give feedback and check if you are playing the exercises in the right way.
As I do with my Army, I will took my favourite licks and exercises from other instructors and my GMC lessons. I will update the routines from week to week if I consider it necessary. The idea is that you keep on playing this routines every day.
By the way, you can join my http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=43110 if you want a customized routine.

Hello guys! In this session we will work on a killer lesson from our archive that includes many shred techniques as alternate picking, sweep picking, string skipping, legato, tapping and also some rocker licks. The idea is to share my approach to learning lessons which consists on this things,
- Learning each part and practice it as a loop.
- Analyzing the theory and scales used.
- Playing the licks over the backing.
- Jamming creating variations of the lesson's licks combined with my own licks.

A Pentatonic minor + passing notes

IMPROVISATION COURSE - FROM ZERO TO HERO -
Hello guys! In the next Vchat sessions I will be giving a improvisation course starting from the basics but that will be cover very advanced stuff. If you are a beginner and you've never experimented with scales, this is your opportunity to get into improvisation. If you are an intermediate that haven't gone deeply into this topic, these series are also for you! Here I will shared all the material needed to understand and follow the course. All the explanations will be done during the Vchat session or at Gab's Army (If you want to have a mentoring thread with me).
